Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
Then an angel he should take
A Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book
For me to read in some heavenly nook
And there goes an attempt at poetry with a revised old English prayer
Hopefully, there’s no need for the prayer to take effect, but I want to clarify my expectations just in case I meet an untimely demise before I get to read the last installment of the Harry Potter series.
Unmistakably, the look of the site has changed. I would love to say that it’s because I’m celebrating the second year anniversary of TheBachelorGirl, however, it isn’t so.
An upgrade necessitated the theme change.
Thus, before the original design disappeared into cyber oblivion forever, I thought that I might as well try to document its existence.

3.30am of 13 July 2007 saw me at Shell Katipunan (across La Vista Subdivision) being loaded with Php 600 worth of gas. However, while the gas attendant was checking my car’s innards, the numbers on the gas meter slowly crept up to Php 603.47
Although the gas attendant assured me that I didn’t have to pay the extra Php 3.47, I saw Cashier Lorna from behind the glass pane staring beadily at the scene, which led me to ask as to who will pay the Php 3.47 if I didn’t.
Director David Yates Imbibes Alfonso Cuaron David Yates, who will be back to helm the sixth Harry Potter film, has wisely realized to take his cue from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron, staying faithful to the themes of family and friendship while engaging the audience in a fast paced rendition of JK Rowling’s fifth book.
Try also to spot Alfonso Cuaron’s visual influences such as the magical flying paper airplane, the swinging pendulum, the gateway between Hogwarts and Hagrid’s cabin and the dramatic courtyard.
Ron and Hermione Another Alfonso Cuaron tradition that David Yates continued is the visual pairing of Rupert Grint’s and Emma Watson’s characters Ron and Hermione, as it should be. Yehey!!!
